Got Religious Literacy by Prothero

Not sure how I'm feeling about this one. The main premise is that nearly everything that has ever happened has happened the way it happened because of religion. I don't disagree, but I think I differ with the author - he seems to think events happened for the sake of religion. I think, depending on the event, it is quite often that humans used religion for the sake of gain. Maybe that is too cynical.
